82Course From Fix Flight Plan LegsCertain approach, departure, and arrival procedures in the Jeppesen database containcourse from fix fl ight plan legs. The GNS 430 is able to load these legs into the flight planalong with the rest of the procedure data, and to provide navigation along these legs.There are three different types of course from fix legs:TYPE 1: Course from fix to distance, or Course from fix to DME distanceCourse from fix to distance legs will appear in the flight plan like normal waypoints,but the destination name willalways begin with a “D”, fol-lowed by a distance in tenthsof nautical miles from thewaypoint fix. This exampleuses the VOR/DME RWY 25approach into Palmdale, Cali-fornia (KPMD) and includes ateardrop course reversal.1. As you reach the initialapproach fix (PMD), a waypoint alert (“NEXT DTK 070°”) will appear in the lower right corner of thescreen. As the distance to the IAF approaches zero, the alert is replaced by a turn advisory (“TURN TO070°”). Dial the outbound course into the CDI (or HSI) using the OBS knob and initiate a standard rateturn to this course heading.2. Fly the outbound course, keeping the CDI needle centered. You are now on the ‘course from fix todistance’ leg, as shown on the active flight plan and default NAV pages. Note the magenta line in thebottom figure, which represents the currently active leg of the approach. The distance (DIS) displayedon the above screens is TO the “D13.0” point. The flight plan will automatically sequence to the nextleg upon reaching “D13.0”.3. At 13.0 nm from the FAF, a waypoint alert (“NEXT DTK 265°”) will appear in the lower right corner of thescreen. Make a standard rate turn to the right to intercept the final approach course and watch for theCDI needle to begin to center.{continued}oDO NOT USE FOR NAVIGATIONPalmdale (CA) AF Plant 42VOR/DME or GPS Rwy 25n o pqrt suv5 PROCEDURESCourse From FixApproach Examples
